Flying High Now

Are you a fan of Rocky?

Come on, admit it. You love it. And if you don't? I'm guessing you just haven't ever seen it.

If you're someone in need of being fired up for... anything, you need to watch this clip:

Rocky is one of my favourite flicks, and if I ever meet Sly, and he's not stoned, I'm going to ask him if he's really running that fast at 1.53, or if it's a speedy gonzales special effect.

Week 5 began tonight, and with it a renewed purpose because of the the Canberra Roller Derby League try-outs. Tonight was pump and I lifted heavier weights on every track.

This week is a whole heapa full on:

Monday - pump

Tuesday - ride to work and maybe a run (will be home in Bowral with parentals)

Wednesday - pump

Thursday - ride to work, hard core cardio training in Dickson park (burpies and some other crazy-arse endurance cardio Shano has dreamed up), skating practice

Friday - ride to work and 3 hrs of derby training

Saturday - move house (yeah baby, there be fridges and couches to move)

Sunday - cardio training and skating practice

There's no slacking off between here and July 2, the derby try-outs.

And the really cool thing is after 5 weeks of pump, I'm starting to see my body change.

Now - if I could just say good bye to the chocolate, I'd be a machine.

The question for us all here is this: would Rocky have eaten chocolate to get ready to go 15 rounds against Apollo Creed?
